    Committed to Dialysis Access

    — PROVIDING LIFE-CHANGING SOLUTIONS WHERE THERE WERE NONE —

    Kidney disease is a global issue. Approximately 2 million people worldwide suffer from kidney failure, and the number of patients diagnosed with the disease continues to increase at a rate of 5-7% per year.1 As many people worldwide currently receive treatment with dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive, yet this number may only represent 10% of people who actually need treatment to live.2

    Access is the foundation for any successful dialysis procedure. Merit Medical’s comprehensive Dialysis Access Portfolio brings quality, reliability and innovative solutions to your practice.

    FEATURED PRODUCTS

    HeRO Graft - Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow

    HeRO® Graft

    Central venous stenosis is a common and serious vascular complication among long-term hemodialysis patients that can lead to the loss of vascular access and a diminished life expectancy.

    The HeRO Graft (Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow) is the only fully subcutaneous AV access solution clinically proven to maintain long-term access for hemodialysis patients with central venous stenosis.

    Key Features & Benefits (compared to catheters)

    • 69% fewer infections.2
    • 16-32% improved dialysis clearance of toxins and fluids (Kt/V).2
    • Less than half the interventions to keep access functioning.2
    • Patency rates comparable to AVG.3

    More Options: Super HeRO & HeRO Ally Revision Kit

    HeRO Graft - Hemodialysis Reliable OutflowThe Super HeRO Adapter and Support Seal system expands upon the clinically proven HeRO Graft by allowing surgeons to utilize other standard wall and early cannulation vascular graft options.

    Surfacer® Inside-Out Access system - Restore Access, Preserve Options - Merit Medical

    Surfacer® Inside-Out® Access Catheter System

    The current clinical approach when treating dialysis patients with chronically occluded central veins is to use another vein if a subsequent central venous catheter is needed. Failed venous access attempts may prevent permanent arteriovenous access, increasing patient morbidity and the overall cost of care.4

    Designed to gain central venous access, the Surfacer System works by inserting the device through the right femoral vein and navigating it up through the patient’s venous system with an exit point in the right internal jugular vein, the optimal location for placing a central venous catheter.

    Key Features & Benefits

    • Preserves the viability of secondary central veins.
    • Supports the achievement of permanent AV access, which reduces hemodialysis provider cost and downtime by decreasing catheter-associated morbidity and complications.5
    • Easier, minimally invasive procedure compared to surgical bypass for patients with totally occluded central veins.

    Flex-Neck Catheters - Peritoneal Dialysis PD - Merit Medical

    Peritoneal Dialysis

    Compared to in-center hemodialysis, home dialysis patient advantages include more profound improvements in blood pressure control, better kidney disease-related quality of life, and shorter recovery time from dialysis treatments. Such benefits are also associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) compared to in-center hemodialysis.

    We offer a line of Flex-neck PD Catheters that are available in various shapes and sizes to accommodate tunneling techniques and exit site options. Our adult catheters have an internal diameter of 3.5 mm, allowing up to 30% higher flow rates than competitors (with 2.6 mm internal diameter). Infant catheters are available in one and two cuff configurations. Each catheter kit contains a unique stenciling system for improved placement accuracy.

    Key Features & Benefits

    • Large internal diameter.
    • Available in a range of sizes for adult, adolescent, pediatric, and infant patients.
    • PD accessories as well as Laparoscopic and Percutaneous Implantation Kits are available to streamline procedures and promote efficiency.

    Merit WRAPSODY Endoprosthesis - Merit Medical

    Merit WRAPSODY™ Endoprothesis

    Hemodialysis access failures take a great toll on a patient’s quality of life. Frequent hospital admissions, invasive diagnostic tests, and open and endovascular reinterventions are associated with increased morbidity.6 Maintaining vessel patency in hemodialysis patients is critical; however, surgical access durability is temporary at best, with half-life for arteriovenous grafts lasting approximately one year and arteriovenous fistulas providing only slightly better outcomes.6 A common failure of hemodialysis access is stenosis or occlusion of the dialysis outflow circuit. Obstructions caused by cellular migration and tissue accumulation across graft ePTFE layers can be a contributing factor.

    Addressing this clinical challenge, Merit Medical® introduced the Merit WRAPSODY™, a novel endoprosthesis designed with a revolutionary cell-impermeable middle graft layer. With this unique feature, the Merit WRAPSODY Endoprosthesis inhibits transmural cellular migration without the use of drug bonding, helping to prevent obstructions from forming within the endoprosthesis.

    Key Features & Benefits

    • Inhibits transmural cellular migration without the use of drug bonding
    • Provides a viable treatment option that preserves functional hemodialysis access
    • Biocompatible ePTFE material that allows for necessary tissue ingrowth to prevent stent migration
